Who am I?

I believe that women are changemakers. I've dedicated my work as a productivity coach to uplifting female solopreneurs who've had the guts to build something meaningful. Often doing so after going through something hard, like cancer, divorce or the loss of a partner. I know the path because I am living it. I show up daily not because it's easy, but because it matters. I want every woman walking this road to know she is not alone. This playlist is personal. I created it because I know what it feels like to need a little boost—a reminder that what you’re building has value and that your voice is worth hearing. I’ve spent over a decade interviewing groovy thought leaders and small business owners on my podcast, Gratitude Geek, and I’ve learned this: stories heal. They inspire. They connect. That’s what this playlist is about—highlighting podcasts that tell real stories from real women doing the work.

My Show

What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?

Gratitude Geek is where I have candid conversations with solopreneurs and experts about small business strategy, productivity, and gratitude. It’s not fluff—it’s real, tactical, and heart-centered. The episodes often come out of my own lived experience or what I see my clients facing. And yes, we talk tools like Canva and ChatGPT, but we also talk about showing up when life gets messy. Because business doesn’t happen in a vacuum.

What is my podcast playlist about?

This playlist, "The Best Podcasts for Uplifting, Showcasing and Supporting Female Solopreneurs", is a curated collection of shows that do what I aim to do every week—amplify women’s voices, share practical wisdom, and celebrate women building businesses on their own terms. Whether you're looking for inspiration, insight, or just a reminder that someone out there gets it, these podcasts are for you. They’re for us.

The podcasts I picked and why

1. Yes, And Otherwise: Feminist Conversations on Work, Rest & Power

Why this podcast?

I added "Feminist Founders: Building Profitable People-First Businesses" because it speaks my language—no hustle culture, no BS, just real talk about building a business that centers people and purpose without sacrificing profit. It’s empowering, values-driven, and exactly the kind of content I want more women solopreneurs to hear.

Intersectional feminist conversations about doing work and life differently. Hosts Becky Mollenkamp and Faith Clarke talk with entrepreneurs, authors, and thinkers about capacity, care, bias, and burnout. We name the systems we're taught to ignore, and imagine what's possible when we stop performing and start being honest.

2. Here's What I Learned: Ditching Biz-as-Usual for Values, Freedom, and Doing It Your Way

Why this podcast?

I chose "Here's What I Learned"because Jacki Hayes doesn’t just talk about values—she lives them. Her honest, reflective take on ditching business-as-usual resonates with women like me who are done with playing by someone else’s rules. She reminds us that freedom, authenticity, and alignment are possible in business. This show is a breath of fresh air for solopreneurs carving their own path.

Welcome to Here’s What I Learned — the podcast for progressive entrepreneurs who want to grow their businesses without sacrificing their values, creativity, or capacity. I’m Jacki Hayes: systems strategist, unapologetic smutty romantasy fan, and D&D geek. Around here, we get real about what it actually takes to build a business that fits your life.

Every episode offers something to take with you — sometimes through conversations with values-driven founders, sometimes through solo episodes where I dig into the lessons I’m learning inside my own business. We explore the choices we’re testing, the questions that create clarity, the experiments that move us forward, and the systems that stay simple on purpose.

If you value integrity, curiosity, and time freedom—and you’re looking for inspiration that’s as practical as it is empowering—you’ve found your people. Hit play, and let’s rewrite the rules together.

3. Playing Big with Lindsay Johnson

Why this podcast?

I added "Work Less Play More" because Lindsay Johnson gets it—burnout isn’t a badge of honor, and busy doesn’t equal successful. Their approach to building a profitable business with ease, clarity, and joy is exactly what so many solopreneurs need to hear. I love how practical and radically refreshing their advice is. This show is a must for anyone ready to reclaim their time and energy.

4. Mindset Unlimited: Tips, Tools, and Inspiration for Women in a Time of Change

Why this podcast?

I chose "Mindset Unlimited" because mindset work is the foundation for everything—especially for high-achieving women carrying invisible weight. This podcast helps unravel the limitations we’ve been conditioned to believe and reconnects us to our inner wisdom. It’s deeply grounding, insightful, and empowering. Every episode feels like a reset button for the soul.

Your Mindset Unlimited is a podcast for women navigating professional and life transitions who are seeking to release learned limitations and build a more holistic, liberatory version of success.

Your Host, Valerie Friedlander, is an ICF certified leadership coach, sociologist, intersectional feminist, artist, business owner, and mom. Based in Chicago and supporting clients world-wide, she helps passionate women in demanding careers break free of frustrating patterns, clarify their purpose, and create meaningful success on their own terms.

In this podcast you'll find tips, tools, and inspiration to help you release the internalized limitations cultivated by our social system imbalances and lead your life with more ease and joy.

Some of the topics you'll find here are: finding fulfillment, habit shifting, motivation, time management, money mindset, stress management, impostor syndrome, productivity, work/life balance, communication, boundaries, leadership, social activism, burnout, building a business, motherhood, and more.
